I have a small 1200 sq ft house. I don't plan on running a bunch of stuff. I would like to run the central AC/heat (2.5 ton), fridge, freezer, well & sump pump and some lights. I don't have natural gas where I live so propane is my only option. I think a 12k generator would work for me since I...

Hello! I am thinking of getting a standby generator. Either. 12 or 16000 watt. Roughly what size propane tank should I get? I was told by one company at least a 250 gallon tank as anything else would be to small because the smaller tanks wouldn’t be able to produce enough vapors to keep up with...

How big of a propane tank should I get? Say a 100k or 120k btu furnace. I’d only be in there weekends and some evenings. Roughly how much propane does one burn an hour? I know they have different efficiency Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t have natural gas where I live. I used to have an oil furnace in my old shop but nothing in my new one yet. So I will need to get a tank either way. This won’t be for full time use. I’m only in there evenings and weekends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! I have a 2800 sqft pole building. I was thinking about getting either an oil furnace or a propane furnace. What are the pros and cons of each? I have only used an oil furnace in the past. By oil I mean a heating oil/kero/diesel fuel furnace, not an waste oil furnace. Thanks

Okay. Yeah i am talking about a packaged unit i guess. The unit would sit outside by itself and the only think inside would be the duct work.

I have been looking at a 4-5ton self contained heat/ac until for my building. How well does LP gas work? The LP units have a much higher BTU for heat than the all electric ones. I have used oil furnaces in the past and am wondering how much LP is used vs an oil furnace.

Thanks! It has 14ft ceilings and and 12x12 doors.

Thanks, I have certainly used a lot of insulation and spray foam everywhere. Shouldn't be getting any drafts

Thanks! I am not exactly sure of how much fill it took but it was probably done over a 6 month period lol. It was a lot of fill especially in the back corner.

Thanks, I wanted something not too bright but just enough for there to be some light down there.

I have around a 2800 sqft pole building. (40x50 w/ 14ft ceilings attached to a 24x24 w/ 10ft ceilings, all open inside) I am looking to see how big of a unit I will need to at least heat the building and possibly AC. The building will be well insulated once I'm done with it. I was looking at oil...

Photos of my building so far. It was originally a 24x24 with no overhangs and uninsulated white doors. I added a 40x50 and also added a porch area to the front of the 24x24 to bring it out with the front of the new building. I also added radiant heat in the floor as well. Just the tubing ran for...

Yeah I did and I believe our local lumber company 84 Lumber can it for $32.80/sheet. It's the DOW blue foam board. Home Depot can get it but it will take about 2 weeks to get.

Okay. The Home Depot around here has to order the foamular 250 (takes about 1 1/2-2 weeks to get) @ $30 sheet. Lowes has the greenboard in stock but @ $36 a sheet.

Will this insulation from Home Depot work? Its 2 inches thick. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Thermasheath-Rmax-Thermasheath-3-2-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-R-13-1-Polyisocyanurate-Rigid-Foam-Insulation-Board-613010/100573703

I was looking at the Foamular 250 from Home Depot possibly. Will that be able to withstand everything (concrete, pressure, etc..)?

Hello, I am in the process of building my 40x50 building and I am installing radiant heat. I already bought the kit from Blue Ridge Company. From what I have been researching, I would need 2 inch insulation under the slab. I was looking at the 2 inch x 4ftx8ft pieces at Lowes and it's going to...

What all materials would I need to put down before I pour the floor? I probably wouldn't be hooking it up for awhile. Just what would I need to before the floor is poured? Thanks!!

The one part of the floor is already completed and it power troweled. If I just wanted to clear seal the floor, would I still need to grind?
